About Mrs Cailleux

We are a French-Portuguese family with 3 children who live in Paris. We spend our holidays for 15 years in the center of Algarve.
We love everything of the Algarve : the climate summer and winter alike, the gastronomy, the sympathy of the portugueses, the beautiful fine sand beaches, the paths along the coast, the freshness of the Serra de Monchique and the medieval ferias of Silves, the wild islands which surround the lagoon da Ria Formosa, the desert of the cape St Vincent, the history of Sagres, the boat trips...
The children like quite particularly the aquatic parks, the Zoo Marine, the circuit of kart of Almancil...
Finally, we appreciate just as much to have within reach of hands the comfort and the modern infrastructures of an European country.
Because we really like very much Algarve, we intend even to move there one day...

Mrs Cailleux purchased this Apartment in 2012

Why Mrs Cailleux chose Albufeira

After spending holidays in central Algarve for 15 years, we decided to buy a property. We chose this residence because the location is exceptional and it is one of the last new modern building having been built in sea front.
We fell under the fisherman's village of Olhos d’Agua and its eponym beach who knew how to keep their traditional character.
The name ' Olhos d' Agua ' means ' eyes of water ', it comes from the fresh water springs that rise in the beach.
When you leave the building, you are on a pedestrian street which allows you a direct access to the beach. It offers you numerous snack bars, ice-cream bars and restaurants where you can have an outdoor drink in the terrace to contemplate the horizon.
The pedestrian street continues on a walk lined with palm trees along the beach to arrive at the huts of traditional fishermen with lovely colored boats on the banister of launch.
You do not have more than to take advantage of grilled sardines or seafood platter to the restaurant ' La Cigale ' or simply a ' bica ' (strong coffee).
If you like sport, in low tide you can walk (or run) on the fine sand during almost 7 km until famous Vilamoura, its casino and its marina.
If you love marine life, you can observe between tides : limpets, topshells, buckshot barnacles, sea anemones and brightly coloured seaweed. The jagged rock formations give rise to isolated group of rocks, undercutting, archess, cavities and small sheltered coves, especially at the western end of the beach.
If you play golf, you can reach in 10 min on foot Balaia Golf, course of 9 holes. Approximately 18 golf, on 36 that offers Algarve, are situated unless 20 min by car.
If you are fond of night parties, Albufeira is accessible unless 5 min by car or by the local bus 'EVA' nearby.

What makes this Apartment unique

Olhos d’Agua offers in the same time the peace and the charm of an old fishermen's village and the proximity of all the urban conveniences.
Its central location in Algarve allows to have a fast access to the airport (30 km), to visit the west coast until the Cap Sao Vicente (1h10 by A22), or to leave eastward to Castro Marim (50 min).
Algarve is a magnificent region which offers a big diversity of landscapes, atmospheres, activities, climate. That is why, everybody can spend of excellent holidays there and compose so its own souvenirs. If you wish, we can recommend you addresses or major sites, according to your tastes.
The duplex was carefully fitted out, it is functional and very well equipped. He allows to take advantage completely of holidays all year round: the system of air-conditioning in all the rooms brings some freshness in summer and heating for the colder months of winter.
You take advantage of an exceptional view from the private terrace or from the swimming pool fitted out with green spaces. Private parking lot closed for 2 cars.

This apartment is perfectly located and is well equipped. The owner is lovely too and came to meet us quite late on arrival. We stayed for a family holiday and found the local bars/restaurants were great with the kids and the small child's pool next to the main one was perfect for us too. Olhos D'Agua gives you a perfect base to explore nearby Villamoura and Albufeira as well.

The only reason for not giving 5* was that the BBQ is electric only which was very disappointing given that this is not advertised as such. This probably would not be an issue to most people but we felt this should be mentioned in the description.

Ideal location for beach,shops and restaurants in Olhos. Very clean spacious apartment with everything needed for a self catering break, good views,an excellent spot for 'people watching'. Though it's right in the centre it isn't overly noisy from the surrounding bars/restaurants.
